Quotes: “Like a rainbow fading in the twinkling of an eye, gone too soon.”
Now it's too late for you and your white horse, to catch me now.

Say you're sorry That face of an angel comes out
Just when you need it to
As I pace back and forth all this time
'Cause I honestly believed in you
Holding on,
The days drag on
Stupid girl
I should have known, I should have known
That I'm not a princess
This ain't a fairytale
I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet
Lead her up the stairwell
This ain't Hollywood,
This is a small town
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down
Now its too late for you and your White Horse,
To come around.
Baby I was naíve,
Got lost in your eyes
I never really had a chance,
I had so many dreams about you and me.
Happy endings
Now I know
I'm not a princess
This ain't a fairytale
I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet
Lead her up the stairwell
This ain't Hollywood,
This is a small town
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down
Now its too late for you and your White Horse,
To come around.
And there you are on your knees
Begging for forgiveness,
Begging for me
Just like I always wanted,
But I'm so sorry
Cause I'm not your princess
This ain't our fairytale
I'm gonna find someone, someday
Who might actually treat me well.
This is a big world,
That was a small town
There in my rear view mirror,
Disappearing now.
And it's too late for you and your White Horse
Now its too late for you and your White Horse
To catch me now.
Oh whoa whoa whoa-oh
Try and catch me now
Oh
It's too late
To catch me now.
It's not so easy loving me
It gets so complicated
All the things you gotta be
Everything's changing
But you're the truth
I'm amazed by all your patience
Everything I put you through
when I'm about to fall
Somehow you're always waiting with
Your open arms to catch me
You're gonna save me from myself
From myself, yes
You're gonna save me from myself
My love is tainted by your touch
Well some guys have shown me aces
But you've got that royal flush
I know it's crazy everyday
Well tomorrow may be shaky
But you never turn away
Don't ask me why I'm crying
'Cause when I start to crumble
You know how to keep me smiling
You always save me from myself
From myself, myself
You're gonna save me from myself
I know it's hard, it's hard
But you've broken all my walls
You've been my strength, so strong
And don't ask me why I love you
It's obvious your tenderness
Is what I need to make me
A better woman to myself
To myself, myself
You're gonna save me from myself
Here's some random videos to share with you guys. Since I'm always watching videos or dramas online half the time, I know this isn't random at all. Anyway, I came across this unsigned duo on youtube who sing covers and they do it surprisingly well as a pair.
Here's Rin on the Rox singing I Hate This Part by Pussycat Dolls:
Halo by Beyonce:
If I Were A Boy by Beyonce:
I think they sing it way better than some of the original singers, probably because I really love how their harmonics comes together as a pair.
Anyway, the tanned girl on the left is Erin and the girl on the right in Roxanne. Both of them are Filipinos but Roxanne is half Filipino and White. By the way, if you can't identify the fact that they don't resemble each other at all, well, they're actually best friends and not twins.
They sing amazingly well and I do hope their talents are recognised soon. Click here for their youtube link if you wanna check out more videos.
Anyway, Chinese New Year this year is the most fruitful and happiest among all that I've spent over the years. Although it was really simple and there wasn't much visiting as usual, I had lots of fun during the two reunion dinners. One that took place a week earlier and another that took place on the day itself.
During the first day, I went down to the famous Guan Yin temple at Bugis with my mother and sister to pray for well-being in the New Year. It was packed like sardines but it was worth the wait. We went to Cineleisure and had dinner at Hong Kong Cafe (Luckily, I knew Alan and he gave us good seats!) before watching Love Matters. The show wasn't as nice as the rest of Jack Neo's movie I've seen. It was just average I suppose.
We reached home at around 1.30 am in the morning because we thought they'll be Night Rider that night but it slipped our mind that it was a Public Holiday and not a Public Holiday Eve. They should have Night Rider anyway since it was still a holiday the next day, but whatever.
The second day was spent at Grams house and after the visiting, we went home for steamboat cos' my brother and sister in law came over with my nephews!
During the rest of the week of Chinese New Year, my nephews came over to stay over for a period of 4-5 days and I had so much fun with them around. The best thing is that they're coming over to stay this week again! Yay!
I really love my life recently cos' it's really back on track. My body clock is getting better cos' I sleep earlier and wake up earlier. I no longer skip meals and I have breakfast, lunch and dinner everyday with fruits as well. I'm getting more and more obedient and I like to spend time with my family more. My self-discipline is getting better and I have plans for my day as well. I hope I can keep up with this! I know it's something really ordinary but sometimes, being ordinary is harder than you think. :)
Anyway, I've been doing facial masks recently and here's one of them recommended by the famous Taiwan variety show, Nu Ren Wo Zui Da. It's has a really cute name called, Wo De Mei Li Ri Ji. My sister bought it online and she shared some of it with me. She bought some bird nest facial essence mask recently and I've used it as well. The aftermath is slightly stickier than Wo De Mei Li Ri Ji, but it's still good cos' it whitens and brightens my complexion. :)
I seriously don't give a damn whether do I look horrendous here.
Anyway, for more pictures, check out Facebook cos' I won't be uploading them here anymore. :)
We're driving slow
Through the snow
On fifth avenue
And right now radio's
All that we can hear
Now we ain't talked since we left
It's so overdue
It's cold outside
But between us its worse in here
The world slows down
But my heart beats fast right now
I know this is the part
Where the end starts
I can't take it any longer
Thought that we were stronger
All we do is linger
Slipping through my fingers
I don't want to try now
All that's lefts goodbye to
Find a way that I can tell you
I hate this part right here
I hate this part right here
I just can't take your tears
I hate this part right here
Everyday seven takes of the same old scene
Seems we're bound by the laws of the same routine
Gotta talk to you now fore we go to sleep
But will we sleep once I tell you what's hurting me
The world slows down
But my heart beats fast right now
I know (i know) this is (this is) the part where the end starts
I can't take it any longer
Thought that we were stronger
All we do is linger
Slipping through my fingers
I don't want to try now
All that's lefts goodbye to
Find a way that I can tell you
I hate this part right here
I hate this part right here
I just can't take your tears
I hate this part right here
I know you'll ask me to hold on
And carry on like nothings wrong
But there is no more time for lies
Cause I see sunset in your eyes
I can't take it any longer
Thought that we were stronger
All we do is linger
Slipping through our fingers
I don't want to try now
All that's lefts goodbye to
Find a way that I can tell you
But I gotta do it
I gotta do it
I gotta do it
I hate this part
I gotta do it
I gotta do it
I gotta do it
Oh
I hate this part right here
I hate this part right here
I just can't take these tears
I hate this part right here
And I'm really beginning to fall for this song right here.
I know I'm not alone this time and I have friends who're going through the same thing with me right now and I've had friends who have gone through this before too, but it just gets really heart-wrenching when you're experiencing it yourself.
When you turn and look everywhere, everyone is talking about the same topic. Everyone is asking you the same questions. Everyone is saying the same thing.
But sadly, I can't voice it out and give an honest answer. Cos' I feel too ashamed, knowing that I could have done it and yet I didn't. I choose not to back then.
Everyone puts on a happy smile and I am smiling back at them, but deep down I feel so alone.
It really sucks to be stuck in the same spot when everyone is moving on.
It sucks even more to know what's in store for me in 2009 and yet I know I'm facing it alone.
I'm having hunger pangs from time to time and it's evolving into gastric right now but I don't have any appetite at all even though I know there's food on the table.
2008 is coming to an end soon but why is my life crashing on me now? Can I still hope for a better 2009?
X'mas is around the corner and it's the season of giving. People are all feeling jolly and merry and they're basking in this joyous mood. Doing their x'mas shopping and preparing for this upcoming x'mas for a joyous celebration.
But I feel the exact opposite.
The world is revolving and everyone's moving on. I have difficulties catching up and I'm staying stagnant at the same spot.
Hello people, I'm back with a little something to share.
I chanced upon this Swedish indie singer, Lykke Li, who has a set of really unique vocals. Personally, I like her vocals cos' I haven't heard such unique vocals from singers in a long long time. Singers this days doesn't seem to have striking vocals and there's something special about hers. Her voice seems as light as a feather yet we can all hear that her singing foundation is strong. I like her pronunciation when it comes to the lyrics as well, probably due to her accent?
Her music is what people would describe as "arty farty" but actually it's more like a fusion of soul, electronics and "powdered-sugar pop". I like the way she makes use of electronics in her songs and yet, they still sound so groovy. She reminds me of Lily Allen and Feist. To me, there's something special in their songs that makes them different from the rest.
Lykke Li's music videos are really interesting as well. There's always people doing vigorous and sudden movements (some are even like spasms) and they always go in tune with her songs. Some are even robotic and mechanical, probably due to the frequent usage of electronics in her songs I suppose?
Check it out below.
With Sarah Assbring of El Perro Del Mar as well! El Perro Del Mar means sea dog in Spanish and it's a musical project. Anyway, this videos are lovely! Especially Lykke and Sarah's harmonizing parts. I find those really pleasing to the ears. I think they're a perfect combination. (:
Can you imagine all this are done live on the streets? Amazing right?
And yes I had fun in Taiwan/HK and I'll update about the trip soon. I'll have to upload the photos first. There's lots of them. I think I took close to a thousand pictures. Haha!
Yay! The weekends are here once more. (:
Reassurance is a form of lie before the tragedy strikes.
Hello there. People knows me by the name of Yeh Ying but I have another name and it's Ariel. I named myself that when I was in Primary Three 'cos I fell
in love with Disney's The Little Mermaid. I reside in a little sunny island which is a dot on the world map. I'm enjoying the last of my teenage years before I turn into a witch on my next birthday.
Luckily, I'm blessed with a caring family, understanding friends and a loving boyfriend, so I guess life isn't that bad to me after all. :)
Now it's too late for you and your white horse, to catch me now.
